White Dagoba, Buddhist stupa in Xicheng District, China.

The White Dagoba rises 51 meters above Fuchengmennei Street, featuring a Tibetan-style architectural design with intricate carvings on its exterior surface.

Kublai Khan commissioned the construction of this religious structure in 1279, making it the oldest Tibetan Buddhist pagoda in China.

The temple complex includes multiple halls dedicated to Buddhist deities, serving as a central location for religious ceremonies and meditation practices.

The temple museum opens daily with convenient access from multiple bus lines and subway stations throughout the Xicheng District of Beijing.

The Nepali architect Araniko supervised the construction, incorporating architectural elements from both Han and Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
